laybrook landfill

Introduction  to The Nightmare

 

Our pioneering Wildland project, committed to enhancing biodiversity and nature conservation, is threatened by a proposed landfill site just 1/2 mile away.  Cory Environmental have submitted a planning application to dump 4.1 million tonnes of non-inert waste in Ibstock's clay pits at Laybrook.  Not only are we just down-wind, but the water that rises in the Lay Brook flows through our wildlife reserve and could seriously jeopardise our Environment Agency sponsored river restoration project - designed to enhance water quality and biodiversity.
